About Pay Our Interns
The Leading Organization Fighting to End Unpaid Internships
Pay Our Interns is the nation’s leading organization fighting to ensure all students have equitable access to professional career paths through the implementation of paid internships countrywide—especially students from historically excluded communities.
We successfully do so through: 1. Research by identifying gaps and establishing benchmarks; 2. Advancing knowledge, practices and policy proposals for employers, students and governmental bodies; 3. Shifting mental models by changing the narrative around who interns and the growing role of internships in today’s economy; 4. Catalyzing change by activating stakeholders to take action toward ending unpaid internships.
